Project description
Ramping up support for the EOSC
The EU-funded EOSCsecretariat.eu project will set up a consortium to provide support for the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC), addressing all the specific needs of this digital platform. The 30-month project will work alongside the community to deliver many of its activities, and it has reserved a substantial portion of its budget for organisations not in the consortium. The EOSCsecretariat.eu's responsibilities include the organisation of EOSC-related events, press and media services, coordination with other related projects, liaison with non-EU countries, efforts to increase pan-European awareness and the provision of a sound legal framework. The project is carried out with the support of highly experienced partners from academia and industry.
